Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Don Crenshaw (ranked 570 p4p, 351 weight class) and Akaro Horiguchi (ranked 79 p4p, 47 weight class). Crenshaw comes to the cage accompanied by Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers. Horiguchi is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Japanese Imperial Army Death March. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
